The National Monuments Service's description
Roughly circular area (diam. c. 50m) enclosed by a poorly preserved earth and stone bank (Wth 1.5m; H 0.3m) reduced in places to a scarp with several gaps along the bank with no evidence of an outer fosse or entrance feature. The bank where it survives is lined with beech trees, its location on estate land would suggest that this is the site of a tree-ring of post-1700 AD date.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
